Summary:
What is more, to construct a system of appeals which holds out to individuals that they can appeal the Commission's decisions, first to the Board and then to an Umpire, when that holding out is in many, many cases an empty gesture is even more unfair.
High criticism expressed by Umpire due to so many restrictions and limitations placed on Umpires in hearing appeals relating to Commission's errors, penalties, disqualifications, Board's assessment of evidence, referrals to courses of study, self-employment assistance and labour adjustment benefits.
